Technology is radically altering the world's economic landscape. We
see startup companies and industries emerging to ride the waves of
change and at the same time see older, established organizations
reorganizing, regrouping and redefining themselves to keep from being
washed away! How do these forces affect you as future employees,
employers, and/or business owners? What do you need to know in order
to make efficient and effective decisions where technology is
concerned? This special offering of K201 will examine and explore the
powerful technological forces at work in society today and assist
students in developing essential analytical and problem-solving
skills as they relate to technology. The course will provide
students with the ability not only to analyze and solve problems as
they relate to today's technological challenges, but also to apply
these same analytical and problem-solving skills to technological
challenges yet to come. Students will be required to solve real
world business problems using the most popular business tools(Excel,
Access, Netscape, etc.). Additionally, students are required to
integrate these problem-solving skills with the conceptual segment
of the course, which centers on the role of technology in the modern
business enterprise. Because of its strong business orientation,
this course is intended for students entering the Kelley School of
Business.
